Autumn - Ben Rector

So I knew a girl once

She was the one I adored

So I fell in love once

With the girl that I mentioned before

And I’m giving up slowly

Giving up slowly

Giving slowly, love

And so I’m giving up slowly

Giving up slowly

Learning how to love someone

So look what you did to me

Look what you did to me

Look what you did to me, autumn

I’m a leaf that’s gone falling free

Beneath all the maple trees

In front of your house to the bottom (yeah)

So I watched the leaves fall

All of the way to the ground

And I knew that that was what love was

To die so that it could be found

And they’re, they’re giving up slowly

They’re giving up slowly

They’re giving slowly, love

And so they’re giving up slowly

They’re giving up slowly

They’re learning how to love someone

They say look what you did to me

Look what you did to me

Look what you did to me, autumn

I’m a leaf that’s gone falling free

Beneath all the maple trees

In front of this house to the bottom

Well, winter’s chill won’t leave until

I let it lay me down

And you can’t see the spring

Till you’re like the leaves

Here on the autumn ground

And so, I’m giving up slowly

I’m giving up slowly

Giving slowly, love

And so I’m giving up

I’m giv-giving up

I’m giv-giving up (oh)

So look what you did to me

Look what you did to me

Look what you did to me autumn

I’m a leaf that’s gone falling free

Beneath all the maple trees

In front of this house to the bottom

Yeah, winter’s gone

Spring has come

Love is here can’t you see

Like the autumn leaves

Bring me to the spring

Show me how to love someone
